Just a stranger? | Larry

Chapter 3

Pov: Gemma

After Harry and I finished our drinks, we went back to the main room, where Max was already waiting for me. The last song was playing and we decided to go to the middle and dance.
When the first lines of Lover by Taylor swift played, I placed my hands on Max's shoulders and his where right on my waist and we moved slow to this beautiful song. I was really enjoying this moment. I slid my hand up and crossed them behind my boyfriends neck. I opened my eyes as I felt Max pulling me in closer. This moment was just perfect. We didn't care, if anyone was watching or even laughing at us. This was our moment, in our little world.
I completely ignored everyone and I was just so happy, that I have such a great and loving partner on my side.

Pov: Harry

I immediately started smiling, when i saw Gemma and Max dancing so close to each other, that not even a sheet of paper would have fitted between them. They look so beautiful together and I'm so happy that they found each other!
When the song ended, they kissed and even if you wouldn't know Gemma and Max, you would've seen how much love was in that kiss. I wish I'd be able to love like that...
We walked out of the school and got into the car, but there was something on my mind. But I couldn't tell what it was..
Harry, how was your evening?
I heard my sister saying happy from the back seat.
It was okay I guess. I answered truthfully.
Did you see that boy again that talked to you in the beginning?
The boy... His eyes... His hair... Him... I think this is what stayed in my mind the whole evening. I need to forget about him, he's just a stranger that means absolutely nothing to me.
No I didn't, but you know, I didn't really search for him. He's just some boy that talked to me once. And I didn't even answer, so there's no point in searching for him, Gem. I explained.
He was cute though. I heard Gemma saying so quiet that I could barely hear it. But I did. I looked in the rearview mirror to look at her. If my face expression could talk it would've said "Yes, he was. More than that. But now shut up please." Yea, that is pretty much what it would've said.
Gemma understood so the whole ride home she didn't say anything. Maybe it's better like this..
I saw the weird looks Max had on his face, so I deduced that Gemma did not tell him about this stranger. How confusing this must sound when you didn't even see or hear about him..

We arrived at our house and went inside where we noticed that Mum was already sleeping, so I looked at my phone to check the time. 1am! I didn't realize we stayed that long.. Understandable that Mum is already asleep..
Max decided to stay the night, so we all got off our shoes and placed them orderly in the shoe cabinet in the hallway.
Do you want a sandwich too?
I asked my sister and her boyfriend. I was very hungry since I haven't eaten anything since we left to Gems prom.
Yes! Two with cheese and lettuce please.
As you wish my highness. I answered. Gemma and I had this great bound since we were little. We always understood what each of us meant and even wehter we mean it seriously or not. I just love to have such a great relationship with my sister.
I made three sandwiches and brought two of them up to Gemma's room, where they were both cuddled up in her bed. I placed the plate on her little table next to her bed and just left the room, 'cause I didn't want to bother them in any way. The plate with the sandwich I made for myself, I put in my room on my bed.
After I cleaned up the kitchen a bit, I finally went to the bathroom, and took a shower.
The warm water felt so good on my skin and I just enjoyed having a moment for myself. After I cleaned myself and gave my hair a quick wash, I stepped out of the shower and dried my self with the big towel my grandma gave me when I was little. I loved her. But she sadly passed away two years ago. It still hurts and I miss her, but I know she's doing good up there..
When I was completely dried, I put on a boxer that I took with me before heading to the bathroom. My hair was still wet so gave it a quick wipe with the towel, so the water is not dripping on the floor.
I went to my room, finished my sandwich and just left the plate on my desk. I'll put it away tomorrow.
I skipped brushing my teeth, because I was just too exhausted from the whole day. I slid on a fresh t-shirt I found on my chair and went to bed.
But sleeping just didn't work. I was so tired, but in my head there were so many things. But when I tried to think about them, I couldn't remember anything of it.
So I just closed my eyes and forced myself to sleep. But shortly before I drifted into a deep sleep, I saw eyes in front of me. His eyes.
